How to Break the iPhone 7 in GIFs

Hordes of people will soon have a brand new iPhone 7 in their hands, and you know what that means: a lot of people will immediately screw it up. But while there will always be ways to completely destroy a new iPhone, Apple has designed the new device to withstand at least some physical stress.

Over on YouTube, JerryRigEverything put a matte black iPhone 7 to the test, including burning and scratching the screen, bending the body, and scratching the camera lens. We’ve GIFed the good bits for you for you for an easy (and oddly soothing!) viewing experience.

Burn recovery

The screen lasts for about 10 seconds before the pixels turn black, but it doesn’t take too long to go back to normal.

No more Bendgate

The iPhone 6 was “flexible,” but the iPhone 7 doesn’t seem to be quite as bendy, though as you can see, you might want to be careful of damaging the waterproofing adhesive.

Coins and keys won’t scratch the screen

The screen began to scratch around a level six on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, which is fairly standard. Luckily, it means that everyday items, like keys or coins, probably won’t do too much damage.

The matte casing can withstand some backscratch

Scratching it with a key seems to be fine, but anything more hardcore—a razor blade, for example—isn’t a great idea.
